Assign image

An image can be assigned to each piece of test equipment. The corresponding functions for assigning and deleting an image are available in the context menu (right mouse button) of the “Image” tab in the detail area.


Assign files

Any number of files can be assigned to each piece of test equipment. The corresponding functions are available in the context menu (right mouse button) in the “File” tab of the detail area.
A classification and thus an improved filter possibility, can take place by setting the file class.

All files are stored in the database, if this is not desired, the function “Add shortcut…” can also be used to refer to an existing file in the file system.

History

In the history of a piece of test equipment, all actions performed with the piece of test equipment are listed. Via the function “Create entry…” in the context menu (right mouse click). In the context menu (right mouse button) of the “History” tab in the detail area, you can create your own entries.

Here it is possible to change the status of an existing cycle definition, to create, edit or delete a cycle definition. The functions can be accessed via the context menu (right mouse button).

Some of the functions described are only available in the PRO version.

Quick Task Window

In the “Quick Task Window” it is possible to output test equipment via scanner input. For this purpose, barcode labels/lists must be available for all required inputs (user, test equipment, location, command code).










Printing

Various print outputs (list, data sheet and labels) are available for test equipment. Before actual printing, the desired report template must be selected in the print dialog.


Information on creating report templates can be found in the Administration area.

Lists

When printing lists, the test equipment displayed in the table view is always selected as the data source for the report. It is therefore possible to restrict the quantity of test equipment to the desired data records using the corresponding table filters.

Datasheets

The data sheet printout always refers to a piece of test equipment, the data source is always the currently selected piece of test equipment.

Labels

For working with the “Quick Task Window”, i.e. via scanner input, barcodes are required. They can be printed either as a list or as labels, e.g. for attaching to the test equipment. Information on working with the “Quick Task Window” can be found hier.

When capturing data by scanner, the data set must be identified using the data contained in the barcode. In Reitec.PMM, different key information is stored in the barcode depending on the data record: Test equipment - test equipment number, user - scanner code, location - scanner code. The key data can be changed in the respective processing dialogs.

E-mail dispatch

If test equipment is due for calibration, a list of the test equipment due can be sent via the “Send e-mail” button. You can select whether the e-mail is to be sent to the currently registered owner or to the e-mail distribution list assigned to the location. You can find out more about setting up e-mail dispatch in the Administration chapter.
